Exploring the potential for reducing dependency on Russian uranium and the challenges in completely eliminating reliance on Russia. Also discussing Russia's expansion in the nuclear industry.
About half of the enriched uranium that nations around the world use for nuclear power comes from Russia. It supplies almost a quarter of America’s 92 nuclear reactors and dozens of other plants across Europe and Asia. The US is now trying to change that with a big push to build up its own capabilities. Bloomberg’s Jonathan Tirone and Will Wade join this episode to talk about what it will take for the US and its allies to free themselves from Russian uranium.
